Treatment Upon Progression

Trials for Children with Recurrent DIPG

The following information was gathered by Sue Rooney, mother of Quinn Rooney and JOMD Board member. Sue attempted to contact at least one institution for each open clinical trial to determine both whether a child with DIPG is eligible to participate in the study and to ensure the study is still open. If you find that any of this information is incorrect, please email info@JustOneMoreDay.org so that the list may be corrected. Further, if you are aware of an open trial that is not listed, please email us that information as well.


This list is provided for the sole purpose of helping individuals research. No assessment of the efficacy or advisability of any of the treatments listed has been made or is implied by inclusion in this list. Please note that the order listed was purely random! Please consult your own medical practitioners to determine appropriate medical treatment. Thank you!
